ST. HELENA WHITE MASS

"White" Masses are for doctors, nurses and other health-care professionals.” White Masses (so named for the white coats of the physicians) were traditionally celebrated on the Feast of Saint Luke (the patron Saint of physicians) in hospitals, chapels, parish churches, cathedrals, and everywhere that the physicians routinely gathered with their chaplains. White Masses honor all those who work in health care – from nurses and physicians to dietary staff and lab workers. These Masses aren’t just for Catholics. Healthcare workers from all faiths are welcome.
